SANITARY-SEAT-SHIELD CUTTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 4:, 1919.

Application filed February 12, 1919. Serial N 0. 276,692.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. Crson, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Seat- Shield Cutters, of which the following is a specification.

My object is to make a sanitary seat shield cutter, and my invention consists of the novel features herein shown, described and claimed.

Figure 1 is a plan of a sanitary seat shield cutter embodying the principles of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan showing the cutter in operation.

Fig. 3 is a plan showing the sanitary seat shield prepared by the use of the cutter shown in Fig. 1.

The sanitary seat shield cutter embodying the principles of my invention is preferably formed of sheet metal cut and stamped into shape. The straight edge 1 is simply a guide and not a cutting edge. The curved inner edge 2 extending from the inner end of the straight edge 1 to the point 3 is a cutting edge, and the curve consists of the segmental end portion 4:, the straight central portion 5, and the slightly curved end portion 6. In plan the portion 4 is concave relative to the body of the cutter, and the portion 6 is convex. The outer edge 7 is a cutting edge from the outer end of the straight edge 1 to the point D near the point 8. The curved portion 8 of the outer edge is convex and eccentric to the inner edge portion 1. The end portion 9 of the outer edge 7 is substanti ally straight and the end portion 10 of the outer edge 7 is substantially straight with a slight convex curve 11 at the eX- treme lower end. The body 12 is pressed upwardly from the edges 2 and 7 the high point being along the line 13 which is half way between the cutting edges, so that the pressure downwardly upon the body 12 will press the cutting edges upon the material to be cut. A lip 14 is turned upwardly between the lower end of the outer cutting edge and the point 3 to serve as a non-cutting edge and to serve as a handle.

In the practical operation of preparing a sanitary seat shield with the use of my cut-' ter a sheet of paper 15 is folded at its center thereby producing a folded straight edge 16, and if desired two or three thicknesses of paper may be used; then the cutter is placed upon the folded paper with the straight edge 1 along the upper part of the straight edge 16 and the paper is torn or out along the inner cutting edge 2 from the lower end of the straight edge 1 to the point 3. The progress of this cutting operation should begin at the lower end of the straight edge 1 and continue downwardly along the cutting edge 2 as indicated by the arrows B-, said arrows and characters being formed upon the upper face of the cutter for guidance. The lines AA, the arrows and characters C and the arrows and characters D are formed upon the upper face of the cutter along the outer cutting edge for use in preparing directions for using the cutter.

After the paper has been torn to the point 3, the cutter is held upon the paper and the handle 14; manipulated to move the lower end of the cutter to the left in Fig. 2 until the outer cutting edge 7 intersects with the out line 17 at the point D; then the pa per is manipulated and the cutter held to tear or cut the paper along the outer cutting edge 7; and then the portion of the paper under the cutter may be removed or torn away and the body of the paper 15 may be unfolded and spread upon the toilet seat. The tongue 18 will hang downwardly at the front of the seat, and the remaining portion of the paper will cover the seat. The inner edge 19 will hang downwardly around the edge of the opening. The cutter may be moved upon the paper to form an opening as desired, and to form various sizes of openings.

Various changes may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention as claimed.

1 claim:

1. A sanitary seat shield cutter formed of sheet metal cut and pressed into a shape adapted for cutting a folded sheet of paper, a straight side for the cutter, to aline with the fold of the sheet of paper, having no cutting edge so that the paper may be cut and opened forming a properly shaped toilet seat cover.

2. A sanitary seat shield cutter formed of upon and cut a folded sheet of paper so that sheet metal and having a straight edge formwhen the sheet of paper is opened a proper ing a guide to aline with the fold of the toilet seat cover is formed. 10 paper, the straight edge forming the guide In testimony whereof I have signed my 5 having no cutting edge, an inner curved cutname to this specification.

ting edge and an outer curved cutting edge,

said cutting edges being adapted to bear BENJAMIN F. CISOR.
